Mr. Speaker, in fact, a show of force by amassing troops near the Iraqi border has worked before. In 1995 it forced Saddam to back away from invading Kuwait for a second time. Last year it forced Saddam Hussein to allow weapons inspectors into Iraq so they could do their work.
Now it is the best chance to force Saddam Hussein to actually back down and disarm without going to war. Why will the government not take action to prevent war in Iraq?
